You give analog a bad name

Still hanging on to those old Bon Jovi tapes? Sweet! Uh, time to let go. Send them to Alyce Santoro — she’s created fabric from recycled cassette tapes and other fibers. Sonic Fabric is wearable and washable, and while it won’t re-create “Wanted Dead or Alive” (what could?), you can even play it with a special “compact fabric reader.”

Cavity search

Mmm … hot buns. Creamy cupcakes. Buttery tarts. And we like baked goods too! So we’re psyched about the Green Bakery — a sweet spot in NYC’s East Village made with wheat-board walls covered in milk-based paint. It’s a totally orgasmnic experience.

Latter-day parking

Salt Lake City drivers whose vehicles run on alterna-fuels, get 50 mpg, or have low emissions are eligible for free parking throughout the city. That means only small cars. And thus, only small families. So, uh … there’s really no tactful way to make a Mormon joke here, is there?
